Fence thrown from Daventry footbridge smashes lorry window
The incident happened on the footbridge on A45 last Thursday March 14th
Police are asking for witnesses to come forward following another incident involving dangerous behaviour on the footbridge on the A45.
The latest incident occurred between 7.45pm and 8.20pm last Thursday March 14th when a fence panel was thrown from the “Curly Wurly” footbridge over the A45, close to the junction with Stefan Way and Staverton Road.
The fence panel struck a passing HGV and become embedded in the windscreen. Fortunately, on this occasion, the driver was not seriously injured.
A Northamptonshire Police spokesperson said: “This type of dangerous behaviour must stop, and it is just by sheer luck that someone has not been killed or seriously injured by an object which has been thrown from the bridge.
“What may seem like a game to those taking part in this reckless and irresponsible activity is not only playing with the lives of innocent people but are also putting their own future in jeopardy.
“If they cause a death or serious injury, they could end up going to prison for a long time, so we would urge anyone who has information which could help identify those responsible, to please get in touch with us.
“We would also ask that anyone who was travelling along the A45 in Stefan Way, Daventry on Thursday evening to please check their dash-cam footage to see whether they may have captured anyone standing on the footbridge between the stated times.”
